Digital certificate (FNMT)

The FNMT citizen certificate is a free electronic certificate that identifies you online for procedures with public administrations, such as taxes or the padrón.

Documents

  • A document showing your NIE (for example the EU registration certificate, the TIE or the NIE assignment)
  • Passport or national identity card from your country

Do it yourself

  1. Choose one of the FNMT options: video identification, identification in person at an office, DNIe or mobile device.
  2. Request the certificate online, then confirm your identity with the option you chose.
  3. Download and install the certificate on your device and keep a backup copy.

The FNMT page does not state a period for this step.
